Why when trying to restore my iPhone it prompts me to update to iOS 5.1.1, but I'm already updated?

I updated already months ago to 5.1.1, and now when I try to restore it, it says connecting to update server, then tells me about the update iOS 5.1.1, only options are to cancel or download. I don't want to just click download and wait for hours. I checked my iphone to see if its up to date and it definantly is. Please someone help i need to restore my iphone! Thanks

The object of the restore is to start fresh, and as such will make sure it has a current iOS download. I am pretty sure even if you select download, it will check your computer and if it finds the latest one, it will just verify the software the perform the restore.

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

  • When trying to restore my iphone 3 i get error 1015, please help?

    Hi,
    When trying to restore my iphone I got an error 1015 and it says the iphone cannot be restored. What should I do next?

    This Error is often received when the iPhone has the iPad baseband installed. So iTunes sees a higher number in your iPhone and gives downgrade Error 1015, because iPad baseband is numerically higher than iPhone 3G baseband. You will have to search the Web for the complete fix which in now available.

    I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Did you manage to fix the issue?
    I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
    This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
    I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

  • HT4623 when trying to restore my iphone error 2001 pops up. Will not get out of recovery mode

    Battery got extremely hot one day while battery was 100%. When i noticed it was hot battery started draining really fast within 5 min it was dead. Hooked up to computer to charge but would not turn on. Itunes plug in screen pops up and iunes says needs to be restored, but when i try to restore it error 2001 keeps popping up. That was on a mac book, when trying to restore on pc error 21 pops up. Any ideas?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • ITunes keeps saying the server could not be contacted when trying to restore my iPhone 5

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 using iTunes, because my battery life has greatly decreased, and I believe it to be a software problem. Therefore I'm wanting to wipe the software completely, and update it again, but when I hit restore, it extracts the software, and then tells me the update server could not be reached. I'm not sure what the problem is, I updated my iTunes again and retried but the same thing happened. Please let me know what to do to restore my phone

    Try restoring your iPhone from a different computer.
